    The problem with your approach is that many consumer IP ranges are blacklisted by the major anti-spam solutions.

  2. Re:sex is immoral (Off-topic) on FCC Levies Record Indecency Fine · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Over 50% of marriages end in divorce.

    If you don't get a prenump, you're a...well you know what I mean. These people who got married thought they met their lifetime partner, just like you. You just got lucky.

    Assuming you're someone else here, when your wife cleans you out of half of the stuff you own, plus a car and the summer house, you'd be asking yourself how you could be so stupid.

    We all want the dream, but that doesn't mean you can't take a little dose of reality along with it.

    Until Apple makes a firmware/BIOS change and all the computers running WIndoews stop working.

    You'd be anything but a genius then.

  5. Why? on Game Previews Just Game Marketing? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Would you base your opinion of a car on a video of a test drive of a prototype version? No?

    Then why would you do it with a game?

  6. Re:Question? Answer. on Mark Shuttleworth Proposes Delaying next Ubuntu · · Score: -1, Troll

    How about they stop being self-rightous assholes and include MP3 support in their releases. Or even the ability to play DVDs? Don't tell me to just download the binaries. I know that. But the people I hand the disks out to wonder why the hell this "Linux" thing can't even play their MP3s!

    I mean, jesus christ. People wonder why there isn't "The Linux Desktop."

  7. Re:There are other reasons too... on Why Terror Financing is So Tough to Track Down · · Score: 4, Informative

    No, no no.

    Many suicide bombers are MIDDLE CLASS with degrees! That's what people don't get. These aren't just people who know they have nothing going for them.

    You're a fool.

    War has solved some of the greatest problems in history. War is the biggest motivational force in innovation.

    War is a tragic thing, but don't you dare let me hear you say it isn't useful.

    Why can't they just make a socket with 200 pins and stick with it for a few years? I'm very tolerant when it comes to planed-obsolescence, but this is just getting stupid.

    > If you get killed, then have to spend 30 minutes+ and 700,000+ ISK just to redo your ship, that's not fun. Well, most of that time is waiting for your ship to travel 4 AUs a second, then unwarp 15KM away from the fricken stargate/station and have to wait 30 seconds until it actually docks.

    I like EVE, don't get me wrong. I just think that it has some serious problems, especially in the UI department.
